Nor are we soliciting further comment on those issues through this supplemental notice, except to the extent that commenters believe the final rule bears on the distinct questions of statutory authority addressed herein.","document_number":"2026-19072","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/17/2026-19072/rescission-of-the-greenhouse-gas-findings-for-fossil-fuel-fired-power-plants-and-repeal-of","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-17/pdf/2026-19072.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-19072.pdf?1789562713","publication_date":"2026-09-17","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"excerpts":"designed with uncertain parameters intended to encompass the range of possible GSLR responses to a given input of temperature and ocean heat content.
